My dog started her heat cycle on the 13 of this month. I intend to try and breed her. I have heard its 7 days of bleeding and then standing heat and then going out. Ever since she has been in heat i have put her with my choice in stud everyday and today he is going nuts for her. If he gets within 10 feet of her she trys to eat him. He bleeding has slowed down to almost a stop.
Last heat cycle i tryed to breed her and she did the same thing though her whole cycle, The stud owner then held her to be bred and she didnt get preg. She loves other dogs so i dont know why she mean towards only stud dogs when she is in heat. last heat was the first time i tryed to breed her. Wouldnt she want to breed when she gets in full full heat? Or do you think cuz she wont accept a stud dog on her own she cannot get preg nor wants to? My vet said bring her and the stud in and he will make sure they breed naturally (although i dont see how) Any ideas?

The heat cycle of the female dog has three parts and lasts about 3 weeks.
The first part lasts anywhere from 3-14 days during which a bloody discharge and swelling of the vaginal area are usually seen.
Next the dog will become receptive to being bred and actively may seek out a male dog. This is the time when she can become pregnant. The discharge may change color at this time and become lighter.
Finally, the discharge will become clearer, the vaginal swelling will diminish and the dog will no longer allow herself to be bred.

Female dogs usually ovulate (release eggs) on the seventh day of their heat cycle (they should no longer be bleeding). The eggs then need three days to mature before they can be fertilized, so the ideal mating day is day 10. Generally the female will not accept the male until they are in standing heat, but if your female will not, I would suggest getting her artificially inseminated. My vet charges about $200 for an AI, but some vets do it for as little $50.
Some females just will not accept the male. My female would not accept my male that I wanted her to be bred to. She would allow my neutered male (but he had no interest), but not my stud. I had her artificially inseminated, and she got pregnant and had 4 puppies (she is a French Bulldog, so that was a pretty good sized litter) that are all healthy and great examples of the breed. Good Luck!

i just bred my dog which is a pomeranian. She is now three years old and i didnt breed her in her first heat cycle, i waited until her second cycle which by then she was about 15 months and she did the same thing. Let me say this first, the male that i used was a "stud" literally so saying this i mean he wasnt new to this ordeal. He wasnt very agressive towards my dog so she eventually gave in because i just kept them around each other until she became comfortable enough to let him mate with her. It seems that if you try to force your dog to do something its not use to doing, i believe in my opinion that it only scares the female and think that you are trying to hurt her or something becuz i did the same thing, I locked them in a cage just big enough for both of them to fit in and got no results. But as soon as i let them free and kind of ignored them thats when they locked up together. This is her third litter that she is pregnant with and i counted 20+ times they breeded in a weeks times. Now that is a big jump from her not letting the male even sniff her. So just let nature take its course on its own and kinda get out the way, your female isn't going to get hurt nor is he going to hurt her, it sound like she is just nervous. P.S. when my dog was still bleeding she wasnt ready yet, you are suppose to wait until the discharge becomes clear. Question? you said they did breed the first time but she didnt get pregnant? When dogs breed they become stuck together for about 10 min straight. Did that happen? If so how many times did they lock up together because that also determines how many puppies they have. the first time my female had only 2 puppies because i was ready for the stud to go home becuz he was marking his territory too much in my house, the second time she had 1 puppy and i was devastated but its only because i couldnt take the male peeing in my house. This time i kept him for a week and they were still going at it on the same day i sent him home so hopefully she'll have at least three or more. Sorry its so long but i just went through this and wanted to help.

My idea is to get your dog fixed. If your only source of breeding information is Yahoo Answers, then you are not a responsible breeder yet. An ethical breeder has breeder mentors - responsible breeders who breed the same type of dog and are there to help beginner breeders.
Obviously neither of you is prepared for this, so get her fixed. There is no need for more poorly bred dogs in this world.
Don't believe me? Read the AKC guidelines for responsible breeding here: http://www.akc.org/breeders/resp_breeding/index.cfm
and, find your national breed club's code of ethics and breeding guidelines. You *are* a member of your national breed club, right? Even if you aren't, they are easily available online. http://dogplay.com/Breeding/coe.html
This isn't saying thatyou can't learn to become a responsible breeder. But right now, you are a backyard breeder, which is not a moral or ethical thing.

Usually when a dog refuses to breed there is a reason..it is best not to force the issue. Nature knows best.

She is obviously smarter than you. She knows you don't know what your doing and wants an experienced owner. Get her fixed
